As the core seat of the entire Great Song Kingdom, the procedures for entering the palace were undoubtedly very complicated. Even if Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhao Yu are children of the royal family, if they want to enter this palace, they also need to check and control the door. Only after the transmission can they be allowed to enter this deep palace compound.

Although he hadn't experienced this procedure for five years, Zhao Xiaoxi still felt that these forbidden soldiers and eunuchs were too long-winded. Looking at these eunuchs and palace maids who walked slowly, the expression on Zhao Xiaoxi's face was still very unhappy. The eunuch palace maid, who also knew the temper of this second son of King Xu, also deliberately quickened the pace of her feet.

It's really going to annoy this little royal bully, and they don't have any good fruit to eat. In addition, as long as the eunuch palace maid who understands Zhao Xiaoxi, they all know that this second son of King Xu has a very good relationship with the official family sitting on the dragon chair today. Among the other royal heirs, even the official family's own brothers cannot be compared.

It was clear that if you wanted to see Emperor Zhezong, you had to go and greet the imperial grandmother who was listening to the government before going. After all, as the grandson of the Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xiaoxi came back to see the cousin who was the emperor first, and then went to see the grandmother. Therefore, some things that should be taboo, Zhao Xiaoxi still distinguishes the priority.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, seeing this imperial grandmother full of majesty in the world again, Zhao Xiaoxi also sighed. No matter how high the power of the world is, it can't stop the erosion of time. When she left the palace five years ago, the imperial grandmother Gao, who still seemed to be well-maintained, has now become old.

However, thinking about the age of the current person in power in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that he would become this old man, and he was tired to think about it. After all, everyone knows that the emperor is not good, but it may not be easy to be the empress dowager who listens to the government. It is normal for people to age quickly due to excessive mental consumption.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at this naughty grandson since childhood, stared at herself a little distracted, and smiled very kindly: "Leather monkey, I haven't seen you for five years, do you seem to have become a lot more honest?" Staring at the imperial grandmother like this, don't you know the imperial grandmother? ”

Listening to Empress Dowager Gao's ridicule, Zhao Xiaoxi showed a hint of embarrassment and said: "Grandma, my grandson is eighteen years old this year, and I always call the monkey so that outsiders can listen to it, how will my grandson find a daughter-in-law in the future?" My grandson hasn't seen my grandmother for five years, so naturally I miss it a lot.

It's just that I haven't seen you for five years, and I found that there were a few more strands of gray hair on your head, and my grandson suddenly felt a little unfilial. After five years outside, I couldn't go to my grandmother to ask for filial piety, and I asked my grandmother to forgive my grandson's unfilial piety. I also implore grandma to take care of the phoenix body in the future, and the grandson still wants grandma to discipline the grandchildren's heirs for the grandchildren in the future! ”

Compared with other royal heirs, in front of this powerful imperial grandmother, she was terrified when she spoke. Zhao Xiaoxi was used to being wild and naughty in front of this grandmother when he was a child, and he liked to run to this grandmother for help whenever he was in trouble outside. So much so that the nickname of this leather monkey is also the doting name of the Empress Dowager Gao.

This is also why the other royal heirs, when they came here to invite An, they all called the Empress Dowager Gao the imperial grandmother, but Zhao Xiaoxi, an outlier of the royal family, insisted on calling the name of the secular family of grandma to the present. Let this Empress Dowager Gao, who is accustomed to the life of the deep palace compound and whose family affection is no match for the royal ruthlessness, also enjoys this kind of family relationship between ordinary people, grandmothers and grandchildren.

Changed to other royal heirs, came to her to say goodbye, and most of them left in a hurry. Even if Empress Dowager Gao asked, they also had a sentence to say, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of her at will. This made Empress Dowager Gao rarely summon these grandchildren's royal heirs.

Only this Zhao Xiaoxi, who dared to dare to fish up and roast those precious brocade fish in the imperial garden pool back then. Dare to think of what to say in front of her, so that the Empress Dowager Gao can rarely feel that since she became the Empress Dowager, she has been slowly deprived of the general love of ancestors and grandchildren.

Now there are four generations of heirs in the royal family, and there really hasn't been any such thing. Emperor Shenzong, who was originally the boss, gave birth to the first five princes who died one after another, and finally let the nine-year-old Zhao Xu take over the imperial power. Although Zhao Xu, who is only 14 years old this year, has chosen the imperial concubine, he has not yet had an heir.

As for the second eldest Zhao Hao, that is, Zhao Xiaoxi's father King Xu, his eldest son is also busy working hard to select the princess, and it is naturally impossible to talk about this heir. Zhao Hao, who ranks third, although he has raised the most men, the prince who is currently married has also not reported that he has children.

For a Empress Dowager Gao, who is both the empress dowager of the imperial family and the heir of these three generations of royal families, she also hopes to see the scene of four generations in the same house in her lifetime. Therefore, Zhao Xiaoxi's words undoubtedly spoke to her heart, so that this old man who had listened to politics for many years was touched to the softest place in her heart by these words.

'Leather monkey, the imperial grandmother is close to the sixtieth birthday, what is there to be sentimental about a few more gray hairs? However, as soon as I heard you, I remembered that you should be crowning soon, right? In a blink of an eye, the leather monkey who played tricks back then has also grown into an adult, and he is about to start a family. Okay, okay, the imperial grandmother must wait to see if the baby born by your monkey is as naughty as you. ’

Looking at Zhao Xu, who usually sees him as the emperor, it is rare to show a smiling face Empress Dowager Gao, who is so amiable in the face of this second son of King Xu. The eunuch and palace maid who served the Empress Dowager also knew very well how difficult it was for the second daughter of King Xu to be treated differently by the Empress Dowager.

Next, Zhao Xiaoxi did not rush to find the cousin who was the emperor, but pulled over to pester the sister Zhao Yu who was beside the emperor's grandmother. Tell this grandmother, who now really holds the power of the imperial court, about some of the things he played around when he practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple.

I heard that when Zhao Xiaoxi first entered Shaolin, he was not used to coarse tea and light rice every day, so he carried the master of Shaolin Temple on his back. When he secretly went down the mountain to steal chickens and dogs to add food, the old man was also amused by Zhao Xiaoxi's words of dancing and dancing. This is really something that has not been done for a long time for the Empress Dowager Gao, who usually has to maintain the majesty of the Empress Dowager.

When Zhao Xiaoxi found that Empress Dowager Gao was a little sluggish, he knew that the old man needed to rest for a while at noon. Soon ended chatting with this powerful grandmother, and said that she was going to the Qinzheng Hall where the cousin was to thank her, and the Empress Dowager Gao also knew that this grandson had a close relationship with the grandson who became the emperor.

remembered that Zhao Xu had been disgusted with her listening to politics for some time now, although he didn't dare to show it too obviously. But the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is also much weaker than before.

Therefore, when she got up and was about to go back to the palace to rest, Empress Dowager Gao said with a rare expression: "Leather monkey, I saw the maid bring him a message for the imperial grandmother." I am your imperial grandmother, not a power-hungry empress dowager. At my age, how many years do I have to live? If he really can manage a great court, I will return to him. Forget it, you'd better go with Ann!

In the future, if I have time, I will go into the palace to accompany the imperial grandmother to relieve my boredom. I'll wait for someone to give you a token of the Forbidden Palace, when do you want to see the imperial grandmother, you don't have to pass it and come in directly. Now that you are all older, you are all born with the imperial grandmother. You know, I'm almost in the year of sixtieth year, and there's really not much time left! ”

Leaving behind a sentence that made Zhao Xiaoxi feel a little sentimental, the old woman, who was nearly sixty years old, also looked tired and left the palace where Zhao Xiaoxi's brothers and sisters were summoned. Turned around and was supported by the palace maid, and slowly left to rest in the back of the palace. From this, it can also be seen that a sentence I heard in my previous life is really reasonable.

The red face is not old and the grace is the first to decide, and it is the most ruthless emperor's family!

The faltering old man in front of him, although he has the power of an emperor, does not enjoy the pleasure of being a grandmother and children and grandchildren. Every day, he lives in this oppressive and deserted deep palace compound, living an almost isolated life. Could this be what an old man who has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven wants to see?

When leaving the dormitory, the old eunuch who led the way just now respectfully handed a token representing the empress to Zhao Xiaoxi, and left with his sister, who looked a little sentimental. Zhao Xiaoxi also looked very sentimental, because he knew that the imperial grandmother in front of him really didn't have a few years to live. Because the history in his mind clearly told him that this imperial grandmother had three years to live at most.

When she died, her cousin actually came to power, and immediately overthrew the existing political structure, leading to a new round of power change. It is this kind of frequent change of power that makes this Great Song Dynasty change day and night, leaving the people and officials of the world at a loss. The so-called reform and the conservative school came to power in turn, but in the end, they could not prevent the collapse of the country.

Cleaning up the sentimentality in his heart, Zhao Xiaoxi knew that there was not much time left for him, anyway, it was still three years. It is enough for him to lay a solid foundation for the future domination of the world. Compared with today, from the high-ranking officials and magnates, down to the common people of Li, they are immersed in the comfortable life of the rich country and the strong people, but they forget that they have become fat in the eyes of the surrounding nomads.

There is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty!

This is a sentence that Zhao Xiaoxi saw in his previous life and felt very heartbroken. If he wants to change the fate of the Chinese nation that is about to be enslaved by foreign people, he must put aside some distracting thoughts and maintain a calm and rational mentality for the upcoming Wang Tu hegemony.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaoxi knew that during the tenure of his cousin Zhao Xu, the Song Dynasty was still thriving. The emperor who really led to the decline of the Song Dynasty is still a little kid under the age of ten! And what he has to do is to snatch the dragon chair of this little kid's cousin and change the fate of the Song Dynasty dividing the north and the south!
